[0002] The ultrasound probe is the core component of a B-mode ultrasound diagnostic instrument (B-mode ultrasound). It is mainly used to transmit and receive ultrasound waves. Through the interaction of ultrasound waves with human tissues, echo signals are generated, which are then processed to form ultrasound images, thereby helping doctors to observe and diagnose internal organs and structures of the human body.

[0003] As a key component of ultrasound diagnostic equipment, the cleaning and disinfection of ultrasound probes is of paramount importance. Because ultrasound probes frequently come into contact with the patient's body surface during clinical use, they are easily contaminated with various germs, dirt, and bodily secretions. If they are not cleaned and disinfected in a timely manner, it will not only affect the accuracy of subsequent test results, but may also cause cross-infection and threaten the patient's health.

[0004] Currently, the cleaning method for ultrasound probes mostly involves manual wiping combined with disinfectant spraying. This traditional method has many drawbacks. Manual wiping makes it difficult to ensure uniform cleaning intensity, and it is difficult to thoroughly clean the complex structure and crevices on the probe surface, easily leading to incomplete cleaning and inadequate disinfection. At the same time, manual operation is inefficient, consuming a lot of time and energy for medical staff. During peak patient visit periods, it cannot meet the demand for rapid cleaning, affecting the smooth progress of the diagnosis and treatment process. Therefore, a rapid cleaning device for ultrasound probes is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a rapid cleaning device for ultrasound probes, comprising a housing 1. The surface of the housing 1 has slots, allowing the ultrasound probe to be cleaned to be inserted into the housing 1 through these slots. A collection plate 2 is slidably connected to the inner wall at the bottom of the housing 1. Pulling the collection plate 2 open allows for the collection of waste liquid after cleaning for centralized treatment. Two sets of liquid tanks 3 are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing 1. The liquid tanks 3 contain disinfectant cleaning solution, which is used to spray the ultrasound probe with the cleaning solution. A filling head 4 is fixedly connected to the upper left surface. A cap 5 is detachably installed on the surface of the filling head 4. Threaded grooves are provided on the outer wall of the top of the filling head 4 and the inner side of the cap 5. By disassembling and opening the cap 5, cleaning fluid can be added to the inside of the liquid tank 3 through the filling head 4. A one-way air valve 6 is provided on the upper right surface of the liquid tank 3. The one-way air valve 6 is a one-way valve, which allows external air pressure to enter the interior in only one direction and prevents it from being discharged. The one-way air valve 6 passes through and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the liquid tank 3. The filling head 4 passes through and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the top of the tank 1. A cleaning component 7 is provided on the inner side of the tank 1.

[0034] Reference Figures 2-4The cleaning component 7 includes two sets of fixing blocks 71, which are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing 1. A slider 72 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 71 via a return spring 73. The slider 72 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 71. A gear 74 and a cleaning brush 75 rotate on the surface of the slider 72. When the cleaning brush 75 contacts the ultrasound probe, it pushes the gear 74 and the slider 72 to slide backward on the inner wall of the fixing block 71. The gear 74 meshes with a rack 76, and this meshing causes the gear 74 to follow the sliding... When block 72 slides, it engages rack 76, causing gear 74 to drive cleaning brush 75 to rotate, thus cleaning the ultrasound probe by rolling. One end of return spring 73 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of slider 72, and the other end of return spring 73 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of fixed block 71. The function of return spring 73 is to automatically reset the position of slider 72 after it has moved. Gear 74 is rotatably connected to the surface of slider 72, and cleaning brush 75 is fixedly connected to the rotation center axis of gear 74. Rack 76 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of fixed block 71.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The spray assembly 8 includes a protruding rod 81, with a piston plate 82 fixedly connected to its rear end. The piston plate 82 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the liquid tank 3 via a connecting spring 83. One end of the connecting spring 83 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rear end of the piston plate 82, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the liquid tank 3. The function of the connecting spring 83 is to automatically reset the position of the piston plate 82 after it has been moved. The piston plate 82 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the liquid tank 3. When the piston plate 82 slides on the inner wall of the liquid tank 3, it will drive the cleaning fluid inside, from top to bottom. The two sides move to the slots corresponding to the spray heads 85 and push the valves 84 to open, so that the cleaning fluid inside the liquid tank 3 can be sprayed from the spray heads 85 to the ultrasound probe. The protruding rod 81 passes through and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the front end of the liquid tank 3. The protruding rod 81 contacts the outer arc surface of the cleaning brush 75. When the cleaning brush 75 is pressed by the ultrasound probe, it will move backward and push the protruding rod 81 to drive the piston plate 82 to move on the inner wall of the liquid tank 3. The surface of the liquid tank 3 is provided with two sets of valves 84, and the outer walls of the upper and lower sides of the liquid tank 3 are fixedly connected to the spray heads 85.

[0036] Working principle: When it is necessary to clean the ultrasound probe, the operator inserts the ultrasound probe to be cleaned into the housing 1 through the slot on the upper surface of the housing 1. During the insertion process, the ultrasound probe first contacts the cleaning brush 75 in the cleaning assembly 7. The cleaning brush 75 is pushed by the ultrasound probe, which pushes the gear 74 and the slider 72 to slide backward on the inner wall of the fixed block 71. At this time, the return spring 73 is compressed. Since the gear 74 meshes with the rack 76, the gear 74 will roll along the rack 76 during the backward sliding of the slider 72, thereby driving the cleaning brush 75 to rotate and perform rolling cleaning on the surface of the ultrasound probe, realizing mechanical friction to remove dirt.

[0037] As the cleaning brush 75 moves backward, its outer arc surface pushes the protruding rod 81 in the spray assembly 8. After the protruding rod 81 is pushed, it causes the piston plate 82 at the rear end to slide backward on the inner wall of the liquid tank 3. The connecting spring 83 is compressed, and the sliding of the piston plate 82 causes the cleaning liquid in the liquid tank 3 to be squeezed. The cleaning liquid moves from the slots corresponding to the spray heads 85 on the upper and lower sides, pushing the valve 84 to open, thereby spraying the disinfectant cleaning liquid inside the liquid tank 3 from the spray head 85 onto the surface of the B-ultrasound probe, realizing spray cleaning and disinfection.

[0038] Waste liquid generated during the cleaning process is collected by collection plate 2, which is slidably connected to the inner wall at the bottom of the tank 1. After cleaning is completed, collection plate 2 can be pulled out to centrally process the waste liquid.

[0039] After the ultrasound probe is cleaned and removed from the slot, the slider 72, gear 74 and cleaning brush 75 automatically reset to their initial positions under the elastic action of the reset spring 73; at the same time, under the elastic action of the connecting spring 83, the piston plate 82 and the protruding rod 81 also return to their original positions, and the valve 84 closes, waiting for the next cleaning operation.

[0040] In addition, when the disinfectant cleaning solution in the liquid tank 3 is insufficient, the cleaning solution can be replenished inside the liquid tank 3 by removing the cap 5 and using the filling head 4. The one-way air valve 6 ensures that the external air pressure can only enter the liquid tank 3 in one direction, maintaining the air pressure balance inside the tank and ensuring that the cleaning solution can be sprayed out smoothly.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
